Huntington Woods voters will decide on Nov. 5 whether the city should sell $7.5 million in bonds to pay for street improvements.

If approved, the estimated millage levy in 2014 for the bond proposal would be .029 mills, or $0.29 per $1,000 of taxable value. The general obligation bonds would be paid off over a period not to exceed 15 years.

In a question-and-answer about the bond proposal available on the city’s website, the city said that voters approved “the first $7.5 million of a $15 million, 15-year street reconstruction program in Nov. 2009.

“However, bonds must be sold within six years of voter authorization. Therefore, phase two of the 15-year program must be approved by voters.”

The bond proposal is a continuation of recent street reconstruction projects, according to the city.

“Many of our streets are in excess of 50 years old and are in dire need of reconstruction due to failing foundations. State shared revenue losses have made it necessary to request voter approval for road replacement.”

The city plans to continue reconstruction of streets at a rate of one mile per year.

Huntington Woods has an AA plus bond rating, allowing it to finance the bonds at a 2.8 percent interest rate.

Huntington Woods voters will also see an uncontested race for two city commissioner seats on their ballots.

Jules Olsman and Robert F. Paul III are running unopposed for the two four-year terms after the withdrawal of Jason Turkish from the race on Aug. 15.
